There is a lot in the air at the moment about Gift Balloons and hot air balloons
These gift delivery balloons I am making at the moment are going crazy
they are extremely bespoke, down to what colour you want the clouds, red/white or bubbly, if you want chocolates with them
I have been asked about doing different styles, EG halloween, what do you think? would anyone be interested in a hot air eyeball or witch?
also, what would I put in the basket? gummy worms and things like that?
Let me know what you think would someone would like to get
Cheers
Mel

Hi there, i’ve been wondering what balloon has the most impact on an event and is also the most versatile, after much discussion with peers I think the 3ft (90cm balloons) are arguably the most versatile balloon, These have been a big winner for everyone, they create amazing atmosphere and we can make them into anything.
They come In every colour, we can create custom colours with double stuffing, plus clear and even marble swirls,
In the hands of a Professional, 3ft Balloons can be anything you can imagine, from the belly of an enormous Easter Bunny to the topper for a huge column, you can fill clear ones with confetti or smaller balloons to explode for a gender reveal or even a mini balloon drop (see the just married picture).
3ft balloons can make an enormous flower centre, they are big enough to write anything you want on them in Vinyl so you can have them personalised, and, Elegant enough for any occasion from a Wedding or Christening to Corporate promotions and even a make an outstanding and inspiring gift delivery to someone’s door (or make everyone else envious when it arrives at their desk at work)

There are just so many ways to theme up a party, and play around with what you can do
Depending on their ages, there are so many things that could work for this style of party
I recently did an 8yo Unicorn party, it was Fabulous, here are some of the games we played
The most important thing is to engage their imagination, and for this, you don’t really need much, just a dash of silliness and some coloured material
First step is, decide with the kids (I have had them tell me it’s a fart/tinkle noise) what noise a unicorn makes and that is the sound to start and finish games
Have pockets of glitter and make the unicorn sound and throw glitter in the air
tell a story together, this is done with a lot of engagement from the children, we tell a story of a little unicorn (children name and age the unicorn) you start the adventure with this unicorn sleeping and have the children be asleep. then make up a story with the kids input (remember the input because you retell it backwards as the unicorn goes out for an adventure then finds it’s way back home. The children absolutely love this game, because it engages them in all forms, they get to create a character and take it on an adventure that is all their own
2. Team games, make two hobby horse unicorns out of balloons and have the two teams race once around the table/chair/clothesline and then hand the hobby horse (they mush ride it like its a horse) over to the next one in line, the team done first starts neighing loudly
3. balancing games with a parachute – kids in the centre are wearing the unicorn horn (balloon horn perhaps) and then you can wash them in the huge unicorn washing machine (everyone runs around the circle with the edge of the parachute, it twists up and the unicorn in the centre needs to keep their balance
Running games – blow up a balloon if they can (most cant) assist with your balloon pump and tie off then they have races frontways backways sideways all together around the yard
2 teams
Jelly bean / Marshmallow run – spoon in mouth,(everyone has their own spoon) picking it up from one bowl and putting it in another
Unicorn tails (snakes or rainbow straps) pegged on a string and have an eating competition
Make unicorn Gel – clear aloe vera Gel plus a drop of glycerine plus loads of super fine glitter can be used for skin or cheeks or lips (always avoid eyes) This is an excellent one for older kids, get them to decorate the pots you put it all in after they have made their magical glitter Gel
Make glitter slime, I have been making slime for years with kids, however there is now an issue with borax so we don’t use it any more, here is a slime recipe that I have been using and adding glitter too so it’s all squishy and lovely
1.5 cups of white glue
1 1/2 tablespoons Baking Soda
2 tablespoons of saline solution (make it yourself with water and salt)
Mix it, add some shaving foam to make it fluffy, then add food colouring and glitter, loads of glitter, it’s a gooey slimey mess
Aaany way, I had heaps of fun at the party, so did my little friends, happy Unicorning
So many times I get questioned about why we are expensive, and I get it, you want to look after the budget, but this is why you want want to only work with professionals.
Today, I was twisting balloons and entertaining the crowd,
A little girl about 12 so not that little I guess, at the front of my line fainted, as a Professional, I have all my insurances and working with children’s checks, and a senior first aid cerificate, And nearly 20years working with children.
I’m lucky to have caught her before she hit anything, I let her down gently and made sure her head did not hit the ground, put her into the recovery position and, as others (thank you parents that came in to assist when this happened, you are awsome) called her carers and management, we started cooling her down, this was all done calmly, and methodically.
Her little sister was also in the line for balloons so after we got sister 1 squared away, cold cloths and cold water, carers in attendance I made her the best poppy troll-like balloon I could, I made sure she had down and got her to smile and relax.
This is my life.
Being an entertainer means I am always prepared, I have a first aid kit with me should it be required, I am very conscious about health and safety because you and your children are my responsibility, both in entertainment and in safety when I’m booked, because accidents happen my friends, A professional entertainer will always Be Prepared, even if it’s not me, make sure you are sure of whom you are working with
Be well my friends
